Is that definitely a red kangaroo? I suppose the ears are right but it looks more like an Eastern Grey. I wonder if Reds' overcoats grow in grey in cold weather.

All our female reds are gray, and I think we only have one male.

Ah, right-oh. The males get really big too so that's the iconic image I have of them in my head.

Yes! Well, pretty sure, I should go make sure, but that's the most likely candidate.
